There is one more log line, which I missed:

Jun 18 19:47:54 smtp2 deliver(user at domain.tld): copy: mailbox_save_finish() failed
Jun 18 19:47:54 smtp2 deliver(user at domain.tld): quota_copy(): super.copy failed
Jun 18 19:47:54 smtp2 deliver(user at domain.tld): mailbox_copy() failed

Another example:

Jun 18 15:09:59 smtp2 deliver(user2 at domain2.tld): copy: mailbox_save_finish() failed
Jun 18 15:09:59 smtp2 deliver(user2 at domain2.tld): quota_copy(): super.copy failed

Sorry about that. I used "grep" when sending you logs .. and grepped
out "saved mail to INBOX".

Then we're back to the original problem. (I thought this was a
problem when two or more messages were sent at the same time)

We're using maildir on all accounts, and mysql.

The user_query looks like this:

user_query = SELECT 3000 as uid, 3000 as gid, concat(concat('maildir:', MailDir), ':INDEX=/path/to/indexes/%d/%u') as mail, concat('maildir:storage=', UserQuota) as quota FROM Users WHERE Account = '%u'

As you can see above, I've statically set the mailbox type to
maildir .. (I did that to make it create the maildir's
automatically) 

I've checked the mysql database for some users, and the maildir
attribute, and the other information there, seems to be correct.

Is it possible that the mysql query fails, so that dovecot doesn't
know maildir, quota, or the other information it gets from
user_query?
